"of course i get all the general inquiries emails." He gestured wildly as if having an imagery conversationn there was some muttering but it was incomprehensible. "and thats what I'd tell him. I, uh right, you. What can ol' Robby boy do for you?"

He winced slightly. "You see, get rid of is such an ambiguous word. " He picked up a tablet in front of him and waved it at the camera. "Take this ship here, a perfectly fine vessel, civilian in nature, just a bit of a checkered past with LPI. Wham, blam, slam, we slap a new name on the back. Pick up a salved IFF transponder. Fill up the docking logs a little with reasonable destinations and cargos. aaannnnd done. She's legal in all the houses, never had a dirty scan in her life." He set the tablet back down. "Now all of that hard work you just witnessed was to swap a Transponder and vessel identifiers. Now if that's what you want that's something we'd do. But if you're looking for a complete scrub, that is to say no transponder at all. I'm afraid that's a bit to crazy, even for me. You see, having no IFF is even more suspect than having a clean one. Everyone would stop you, at least back in Liberty, to say nothing of the edge and the persistence of the Core and Corsairs."
"So what you you mean by git rid of"

"Ol' Robby Boy can do anything he puts he mind to." he set down a tablet in his hand a picked up a sandwich which rivaled his head in size. "But to be frank, just removing an IFF, you can do that yourself with any fine hammer. The services I offer are more substantial than just breaking a transceiver." There was a pause while he took a bite of his sandwich, thickly between chews he continued. "You see....them police folks, they'll be like sharks near blood at the sight of a transponder-less vessel, then you'll be stopped, your vessel search...Logs read. And then what, you might not have an IFF but they'll sure as sunshine seen everywhere you've been."
"So again, Ol' Robby strongly recommends you let him do what he does best and clear your transponder and set you up with a squeaky clean landing record. But if not I'll happily take your credits and come out with a hammer and give things a wack. If I have to visit in person its 10 million credits, if you want to follow my directions it will only cost you 3 million"

Beginning of the Message:
Rob Ross,
I don't care about police or any other law-enforcements. What I do care if the IFF removed from my ship.
I will be honest to you. I own a Hammerhead. The IFF says Bounty Hunter but I contacted you to remove this because I do not have the knowledge to do it on my own.
Tell me where I need to go and I will send the money once the job done.

"Alrighty, I've included encoded directions. Send credits to .:j:.Saltese.Smelter. Lets see if your smart enough to figure it out on your own before I gotta trek my way back into wherever you are."
